If people can provide the data, I'll host a site with a database look-up. Initially the fields for each entry would be:- database reference number - searchable, exact match general type: audio-visual - searchable, drop-down menu sub-type: audio - searchable, drop-down menu description: plays most file types - searchable , partial match comments: used to be called aaaa - searchable, partial match package name: searchable, partial match location: URL or repo site name - searchable, partial match on URL Centos 5 available flag: used in combination with a search Centos 6 available flag: used in combination with a search Non-Centos flag: used in combination with a search The site could perhaps be called: software.centos.org although I have sufficient resources for an alternative URL.
